Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1502

Chapter 1502 Divided They Fall Part 2

Those like Estor who had been already chosen as heirs had access to their respective bloodline legacy, giving them an edge over their peers. They arranged themselves into a series of concentric circles and combined their Spirit Magic to form an array that encompassed all the members of the expedition.

The tier two Spirit Array Hive Mind allowed them not only to freely share their thoughts and discoveries about the energy core without the risk of mana poisoning, but also to keep examining the relic from a distance.

It formed a telepathic structure akin to Soluspedia so that everyone could browse each other's knowledge without the foreign mana flooding their brains.

'Solus, are you recording all this?' Lith asked after making sure that none of his thoughts might be overheard.

'Yes. Being in my Eyes form helps and Phloria sharing our burden is doing wonders. Now shut up, I want to listen to what the others think of our discovery.' She replied.

'As you can see, the materials are crude and the runes are outdated, but the energy core is still a marvel of magic.' Trevan the Nightwalker said.

'Its pseudo cores can interact with each other, making it the next best thing to a power core. Only by working together could a group of gifted individuals craft something this powerful despite their primitive mastery of magic.

'There's a lot that we might learn from their workings, but only if we work together like they did. I think we should compensate Lith properly and share the discovery with the entire Council.'

'Except that they ended up killing each other. That's not an example that I'd like to follow.' Emya said. 'I agree on the energy core being a powerful weapon that we don't want to fall into the hands of the non-Awakened, but it's still crap.

'I'm not going to give away modern artifacts in exchange for outdated junk.'

The envoy planted the seed of greed and conceit, leaving up to the rest of the expedition if growing or weeding it.

Soon the group split into two factions, just like the Council had planned. One wanted to organize the expedition into a proper group and share whatever they found so as to have a better understanding of Urgamakka's value.

The other, instead, considered the discovery of the energy core one more good reason to move on their own and keep the relics for themselves.

'Only powerful violet-cored individuals could craft something like this. I don't care about the relics, but if I manage to find the records of the Urgamakkans breathing technique, becoming an elder of the Council will no longer be just a dream.' They all thought.

Many young Awakened had been stuck at bright blue for over a century and they had yet to find a clue to break through to the next level.

'Before we dispel the array, there's something I would like to point out.' Estor the Treant said. 'There's something off with this city. The buildings are arranged in a way that makes them hard to defend in the case of attack and the waterways make no sense.

'Awakened who can fly and Warp have no need for such huge canals. They have no artistic value nor practical purpose. Worst case scenario, they could flood the city and drown the people in their sleep.'

'Agreed.' Aalejah said. 'On top of that, I recognized the design of the Golems. They belonged to Gestra the Maker, an ancient Awakened who dedicated his life to find a way to give constructs sentience.'

Unfortunately for the Council, details like architectural styles and which piece of furniture belonged to which culture wasn't just beyond the Lich but also beyond them. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}
